Chapter 563: Desperate for the Dead
"Hello!"
In front of the away team's dugout at Old Trafford in Manchester, Gao Han sneezed heavily through his mask. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Oh, my mother, is that old man from Ferguson scolding me?"
Behind the mask, Gao Han said with a heavy cold accent, but he didn't forget to turn around and glance at Ferguson in front of the home team's coach's box, who was roaring at the pitch in a rage, and scolded his mother at every turn, God knows who he was scolding?
"You, don't that heart, sit back quickly. Cantarero persuaded with concern.
Since the rain at the Meazza Stadium last week, Gao Han caught a cold the next day.
The temperature difference in Milan this season has changed greatly, and Gao Han has to lead the team to fight everywhere, which has caused his cold to not get better, and he still wears a mask to command the game.
Gao Han was also a little tired, walked back to the coach's seat, and sat down and really didn't want to stand up again.
After playing the first leg of Manchester United, he led the team non-stop to play a Serie A away game, and the worst thing was that the opponent was Reggina, just in the south of Italy, from south to north, plus running back and forth, almost lost Gao Han's life.
But two days after returning to Milan, I flew directly to Manchester.
As a result, Manchester at this time was really terrible, the rain did not fall, but it was nearly 20 degrees during the day, and only three or four degrees at night.
As soon as he arrived in Manchester, Gao Han felt that his cold had worsened.
"The weather here is really damn good!" Gao Han scolded angrily.
Pep Guardiola next to him handed Gao Han's hot water kettle over, Gao Han unscrewed the lid and took a sip, still feeling dizzy and dizzy, and the whole person felt that something was wrong.
However, the performance of Inter Milan on the pitch made him feel reassured.
After winning 3-0 at home and challenging Manchester United away, Gao Han's strategy was to defend and counterattack.
The main reason for this arrangement is to take into account the difference in Manchester United's home and away performances.
In this season's Champions League, the Red Devils Manchester United always played badly away games, but they won all the way at home, which is a typical home dragon away bug, so Inter Milan's away tactics are more stable.
Objectively speaking, the heavy rain in Milan City's battle is indeed more beneficial to Inter Milan, in the water war, Manchester United's speed can't play at all, let alone Rooney, even if it is Giggs, who is very delicate at his feet, has made a lot of mistakes in passing and receiving the ball, especially for medium and long-distance passes.
The reason why Manchester United make frequent mistakes in passing and receiving the ball is due to this factor.
On the other hand, Inter Milan is very skillful in passing and receiving the ball in a small area, and the pressure of passing and receiving the ball is not great, but it is more suitable for rainy days.
But after returning to Old Trafford, Manchester United will obviously be more vigorous on the ground they are familiar with.
As it turned out, the Red Devils did perform better on their home turf tonight, not demoralizing from 3-0 down in the first leg, but attacking the Inter defence with gustoe from the whistle.
Once Ferguson's team played their rhythm, they were still very sharp.
But Inter Milan is not a fuel-efficient lamp, born in Serie A, and it is difficult for Manchester United to break through if he is firmly defensive.
Throughout the first half, the Red Devils attacked half of the pitch with their teeth and claws, and after the rematch in the second half, the attack continued unabated.
"Ferguson is Ferguson, Manchester United is still Manchester United after all. ”
Looking at the high morale of the Red Devils players on the field, Gao Han couldn't help but praise convincingly.
Not to mention anything else, with this spirit, the strength of the Red Devils and Manchester United will definitely not be weak.
As the godfather of Manchester United, Alex Ferguson has engraved his character into the soul of Manchester United, and will never give up any hope until the last minute, a trait that the Red Devils have never lost.
In 99 years, they relied on this spirit to reverse Juventus and Bayern Munich successively, and finally won the Champions League, and now, after losing 0-3 in the first leg, the second leg played in the second half, still 0-0, but they still did not give up hope, or actively looking for opportunities.
"Ferguson is really a respectable opponent. Pep Guardiola nodded in approval.
Gao Han looked at his assistant and knew that Ferguson was one of the most respected managers of Guardiola, and smiled slightly.
"Frankly, it's a bit of a shame to beat a team like this by yourself. ”
Guardiola and Cantarero next to him heard this, and then looked at Gao Han's serious appearance, and almost didn't laugh out loud, you are narcissistic, and you still toss Ferguson so much, no wonder he wants to scold you.
If Ferguson next door hears this, I guess he will fight with you.

"Is this kid a tortoise tonight?"
Ferguson turned his head sideways, glanced at Gao Han, who was sitting back in the dugout, and scolded indignantly.
"I fought so hard in the first round, why did I retract in the second round?
Assistant coach Carlos Queiroz was smiling wryly as he listened.
With three balls in hand in the first round, and desperate in the second round, Gao Han definitely kicked the donkey in his brain.
Belch...... No, he seems to have played that way.
It can only be said that Gao Han's arrangement is very strange and completely unpredictable.
How so?
He is always able to surprise his opponents in some details that others have not noticed.
"You have to be careful, whether it's Cristiano Ronaldo or Adriano, they're always ready to fight back. Queiroz cautioned.
In '03, he accepted an invitation from Florentino, then president of Real Madrid, to take charge of the Galaxy, but a year later he was disgraced and Ferguson offered to return to Manchester United as the chief assistant coach.
Therefore, Queiroz is still full of respect for Ferguson, and he is also wholeheartedly obedient to assist.
And he knows Ferguson very well, and knows that the Scottish coach's wish is to win the Champions League again before retiring.
But the 0-3 in the first leg forced Manchester United to a dead end.
"Gao Han, this kid is really good at employing people. Ferguson praised on a whim, "You see that Cristiano Ronaldo, who originally played on the right side, moved to the left and showed great potential. ”
"Yes, he, along with Messi and Kaka, should be regarded as the most powerful stars in the new generation of football today, with unlimited potential. ”
As a Portuguese, Queiroz also paid attention to Cristiano Ronaldo, and even persuaded Ferguson to bring him in, but at that time, Atletico Madrid did not consider releasing him at all, and Cristiano Ronaldo did not want to come to Manchester United.
I have to say that this is indeed quite a regrettable thing.
"It's been seventy minutes, shall we take it?" Queiroz reminded.
Looking at the situation on the field, Manchester United has been unable to attack for a long time, and it is somewhat strong, and Inter Milan has been playing all the time, but this is obviously not Gao Han's character, he is estimated to press it out at the last moment.
But Ferguson shook his head, his eyes flashing with a hint of fierceness.
'Just being given a clean sheet by the opposition is definitely not our style at Manchester United. ”
The old man's tone was calm, but there was a sonorous force that made it difficult to doubt his determination.
Queiroz has followed Ferguson for many years and he knows Ferguson's character.
Lost, basically already lost, but he wanted a goal.
It's not about winning or losing, it's just about dignity.
…………
…………
As Queiroz had guessed, Inter did launch a last-minute assault.
From the beginning of the 70th minute, Gao Han suddenly replaced Figo and McConn, replaced Yaya Toure and Zanetti, and strengthened the team's attack, and Inter Milan quickly launched a wave of attacks.
In the 78th minute, the Nerazzurri launched an offensive when Cristiano Ronaldo cut diagonally into the box and fired a right-footed volley directly from McCone on the right to open the scoring for Inter.
Just four minutes later, it was another wave of Inter Milan's attack, Figo took the ball in the middle and turned away from Carrick, and went straight into the penalty area, Ibrahimovic carried Ferdinand with his body, received the ball and turned and pushed, and once again broke the Manchester United goal.
With a two-goal lead and a 5-0 aggregate scoreline, Inter Milan is sure to win.
But at the last moment, Ferguson resolutely replaced Fletcher with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and continued to strengthen the team's attack.
In the end, in the 88th minute, it was Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's assist that gave Wayne Rooney a chance to hit the ball from close range, but Cesar couldn't do anything about it and was eventually scored by Manchester United.
1-2, 1-5 on aggregate, Manchester United was still honored.
The fast-paced offense and defense in the last 20 minutes pushed the atmosphere of the game to the highest level, as if a long-foreshadowed movie ushered in a big explosion of contradictions at the last moment, which made people watch heartily.
…………
…………
As the whistle blew, Inter Milan celebrated their team's advancement.
Ferguson looked as usual, sent all the players back to the locker room, and then took the initiative to shake hands with Gao Han, made an appointment to drink together after the game, and returned to the coach's box.
"Carlos, you go back to Porto and help me look at Pepe. ”
"Pepe?" Queiroz was a little surprised.
"Hmm. Ferguson nodded, "Gao Han has a lot of respect for this central defender, and it's time for us to strengthen the backline." ”
Among the several players recommended by Gao Han, Ferguson thought that Pepe was still the most suitable for Manchester United.
At the very least, he has proven himself in the Champions League.
"By the way, after watching Pepe, you can go to Slovakia again. ”
"What are you doing in Slovakia?" Queiroz was taken aback again.
"Gao Han told me that Košice has a 19-year-old midfielder named Nemanja Matic, who is the main midfielder of Košice this season, who has performed very well and has great potential, and you can help me to see it, they should be playing the second round of the double round robin now. ”
Unlike other leagues, there are only 12 teams in the Slovak league, and after the first round of double round-robin matches, the top eight teams in the standings automatically advance to the second round of double round-robin matches to determine the winners.
"Nemanja Matic?" Queiroz silently pronounced the unfamiliar name, apparently unimpressed.
But Gao Han's ability to tap talent is famous, and even Queiroz, who has cultivated a golden generation for Portugal, has to be ashamed of himself, and he dare not doubt it easily now.
"I'll ask Martin to go to Germany and get in touch with Bayer Leverkusen. ”
"René Adler?" Queiroz thought of the German goalkeeper on United's scouting list.
"Well, Gao Han is also very sure of his ability and I plan to bring him to Manchester United as soon as possible. ”
As he said this, Ferguson's eyes radiated with determination.
In the past few years, Manchester United has not only failed to perform well in the Champions League, but also lost its previous dominance in the Premier League, and has been suppressed by Chelsea for several seasons in a row.
Now, he clearly feels that he is getting closer to retirement, and he feels that he must take a gamble.
Moreover, Gao Han's strong recommendation gave him enough confidence.
It's time to fight for your life!
